Developing resilience in self and others

This course will help you to look at the leadership challenges you face and the impact these have both on yourself and the people that you lead (both in and out of school).
It will help you to build your personal robustness as a leader so that you can tackle challenges in a more effective manner, leaving you with more time and less "busy-head" time to do the job you want to do which is lead your school & make a difference.

We will explore how your brain works (in a fun way!), and provide you with a memorable metaphor which you can use to coach yourself and others so that external pressures have a less damaging effect on your overall well-being. We will explore our ‘performance resilience’ model and the skills you can use to promote this within yourself and others.

As a role model of this strong leadership, you will be able to promote resilience-based strategies within the staff that you lead and in turn begin to develop it in your children.
